So I got a little creative Saturday... well lets just say crazy with the hops. I had 5 or 6 1 lb bags I had never opened and wanted to put them to use. I know... it has corn sugar in it, but I knew it needed a little more gravity with all these hops.

So here's my question. All of the hops were pellets excpet for the cascade and perle. I want to dry hop with another 1oz of perle. Should I wait for the secondary? Or go ahead in the primary?

I should have taken pics of this brew. Within 2 hours the muntons dry yeast had taken off. In 4 hours my airlock was clogged. I removed it and hop trash went everywhere. After that its started spewing out like a volcano. I improvised a blow off tube and put the airlock back on that next morning.

I wonder what it will taste like. The color is nice. Pretty much I just used all my left over grains.

Probably the corn sugar. I'm hoping the 1lb of cara-pils will offset it some of the thinning out it will do.

I have some of those cascade hop tablets that are like a alkaseltzer. I'm using one of those and 1oz of perle. I suppose I got a little while to decide when. I'll probably do it in the secondary for the first week.

Racked to secondary and checked the gravity. 1.015 already!. I took a sip and wow.... very hoppy of course. Initial bite was excellent... not too much. I could tell this was a high gravity brew. I threw the cascade tablet in and added the 1oz of perle whole hops. It neeed a little aroma and I think this will do it. After 3 days in the secondary it is suprisingly clear. I'm letting it dry hop for 7 days, then 7 more in the secondary. I'm kegging all of this and priming and let her age for a while.

Experimenting is a lot of fun. I was scared at first I was wasting 7lbs of DME and all those hops. But this beer already tastes great being as green as it is.
